Maldivian, the national airline of the Republic of Maldives, has expanded its international service offerings with the introduction of seasonal flights to two of Southeast Asia’s most popular cities—Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Bangkok, Thailand. The special services will operate during the peak school holiday months of December and January, providing both Maldivians and foreign tourists with enhanced travel options during the festive period.
Starting 21 December 2025, Maldivian will offer weekly flights to Kuala Lumpur every Sunday, concluding on 11 January 2026. Similarly, flights to Bangkok will depart each Tuesday, commencing on 23 December 2025 and running until 13 January 2026. This schedule is strategically timed to align with increased travel demand during school vacations and end-of-year festivities.
Round-trip fares are competitively priced at USD 355 for Kuala Lumpur and USD 399 for Bangkok, offering affordable travel options to families, students, and leisure seekers. Bookings are now available through Maldivian’s official website and mobile application. For personalized assistance, passengers can contact the airline’s 24-hour call center at 1671.
The decision to resume seasonal flights to these key destinations reflects Maldivian’s ongoing efforts to enhance regional connectivity and offer passengers greater flexibility and convenience. In past years, the airline has successfully operated similar seasonal services to Malaysia, gaining strong interest from both leisure and business travelers.
These new routes further highlight Maldivian’s role not just as a national carrier but also as an enabler of tourism and international engagement. By connecting the Maldives to leading Asian hubs, the airline opens opportunities for outbound Maldivians seeking cultural exploration and shopping, while simultaneously making the Maldives more accessible for tourists coming from Southeast Asia.
This strategic move also supports the country’s broader efforts to position itself as a well-connected island destination, reinforcing the Maldives’ reputation as a preferred holiday haven globally. As December approaches, these new flights are expected to contribute positively to travel flows, encouraging two-way tourism and enhancing people-to-people connections across the region.
